Save the Liquid Manure.

Scientists have proven by chemical
analysis the value of liquid manure as
plant food, and it will pay farmers to save
all that is made in stables, barns and cat
tie sheds. This can be done by conduct
ing it into tanks or cisterns made for the
purpose, or by the use of absorbents. The
latter is the more usual plan, and not g
few farmers consider the bedding from
sheds and stables of horses, sawdust and
other material saturated with urine, one
of the most valuable components of the
manure pits and compost heap. Liquid
manure must be largely diluted before
application; hence the plan alluded to Of
doing it by absorbents and mixing therein
with the manure heap, is an excellent one,

rims for sleeninr Car Porters.


The American people do not take kindly to
tips. They are willing to pay handsomely
and literally for any service, but to be
obliged to pay as a reward for civilities a
portion of the salary of the person who rem
ders them is always regarded as an imposi-
tion and an outrage.
The discussion regarding the receipts Of
sleeping car conductors shows that the COM
panies running the cars take this advantage
of the generosity Of the travelling public by
which the salaries of their pcrters are paid.
A porter receives S15 a month-not enough
to pay for either his meals on the road, his
rent, the support Of his family or the clothes
the company compels him to purchase. The
living expenses Of this employe of the COM
pany must be made up by the travelling pub
lie, who, in paying for their berths, pay
enough to cover all that porter could be
reasonably asked by the passenger to do. On
trip to New York passenger will pay the
porter more money for perhaps twenty min
utes' service than the company does for his
whole time in the care of its properly.
The duties of the porter are clearly de-
hnedJ and If he is asked by passenger to do
something not obligatory on him the passen-
ger should pay him. But FOR the passenger
to be asked to pay fifty cents for blaclsing his
boots in order that forty-flve cents of it may
pay the porter for taking care Of the COM
pany's dirty linen at the end of the route,
can be defended on no principle Of honesty
or decency. II is wholly wrong and iniqui-
tous and sh ould be stonWd -ChirH~N Now-

PLAYERS of Wind Instruments.

The manner in which players of wind in
stIuments keep their lip muscles hardened
often excites curiosity This is only attained
by constant practice, and the more perfectly
a performer plays the more practice is needed
TO keep him up to the mark.
Many performers on wind instruments, and
especially cornetists, frequently lose control
over the muscles of their mouths and are
affected by what is known as the "frozen lip. "
In this case the lip sometimes swells to an
enormous size, and in many instances the per-
former is obliged to take temporary rest
from playing.
Too much smoking is also bad for the lips, as
it makes them dry and feverish. While the
use of too much liquor would, of course, be
bad for any performer, yet when used in
moderation it sometimes has a beneficial
effect up1n the playing. This is especially
true when very heavy programme is rem
dered.-New York Journal.

ont the following for use as insecticides
on or about plants, trees, ETC..
London Purple.-To twenty pounds

Thinning Fruits.

All horticulturists who grow choice fruit
for market realize the Importance of thin
ming out the embryo fruit by relieving
trees and vines of any surplus and of all
inferior or diseased specimens Farmers,
as rule, also recognize the Importance of
thinning fruits, but comparatively few OF
them do it, the plea being that it is too
much trouble. The consequence of neglect
in this direction is lot of inferior fruit,
often unfit for any market; very unlike
the choice grades that command highest
prices.
The surplus of trees or vines may be re-
moved before the flowers have blOomed
by the operation of disbudding, or it may
be done as soon as the fruit has set; in
deed, thinning may still be accomplished
after the fruit is half grown, by reducing
the number, so that what remains will be
fully and perfectly developed. This thin
ming out of fruit pays alike on pear,
peach, plum and other fruit trees, and es-
pecially have its good effects been noted
on grape vines. 1t is by the removal of
large portion of clusters of embryo fruits
that prize grapes, peaches and the like are
obtained

Arricnltnral Notes.

The prospect for the apple crop is dis.
couraging in almost every section except
in New England and New York. The
present is the ''oft' or non bearing year,
though many young orchards are fruitful
in the ''off'' year.
A decrease in cotton average is noted in
North Carolina, and is attributed to the
beginning of an effort on the part of plant
ers to grow their home supplies.
Reports from different states make il
appear that there will be fair grape yield.
Front Germany comes the report that a
decided preference is given in that country
to American hickory for forest culture.
Truck farming in Louisiana is becoming
one of the important industries of that
state
Virginia is raising a less quantity OF
tobacco, but it is Of improved quality.
Favorable reports of the cotton crop
come from several states.
Crop reports from Manitoba are en-
couraging.

Timely Notes on Bee Keeping.

Work to be done in the apiary during
The summer months runs somewhat as
follows:
Arrange hives for boxing and extract
ing.
Have everything in readiness for
swarms, if this system is practical.
Rear queens, and make artificial
swarms.
Ventilate strong swarms in the warm
est weather.
Remove surplus boxes as soon as full,
and supply the place of the first ones with
empty boxes.
Look out for the moth larvae in surplus
honey and extra combs
Extract at suitable intervals.
If preparations are to be made for win
tering bees indoors the work ought to be
done in warm weather, that all damp
material may be dried before the room is
occupied by the bees. Do not neglect
refuse comb designed for wax.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1887-08-04
Newly Set Trees.

Newly set trees require special care at
this season, and many trees will doubtless
die of neglect that with proper attention
might thrive. Hot, dry weather kills
many young trees. The ground around
newly set trees ought to be frequently
stirred and not allowed to become hard
If trees were not mulched at time of
planting stir the soil and apply as a
mulch some substance that will soak up
and retain moisture. 1t does no good to
water trees that are not mulched in dry
weather. A mulch serves double pur-
pose; it retains moisture in the ground
below it, and holds moisture in itself to
be given up as the soil beneath it dries.

the defendant to change cars at Wells
Vile. While In the lunch room at the
depot the conductor called "Rll aboard"

soon as possible, attempted to board the
train, which was then moving slowly,
and In so doing stepped into q broken
place In the depot platform, throwing
him between the platform and the cars,
resulting in the loss Of his left arm.

condition and that 1t was originally de-
fective in construction. The plaintiff
claims damages for permanent injuries,
medical care and attendance, ETC., In
the sum of $4,000, and asks the court

the plants will wilt if set too low they
will be smOthered. Press the earth firmly
